Data Inventory Management and Catalogues
The relentless rise in Market Data costs has prompted increased scrutiny across financial institutions of all sizes. Focus on controlling these costs has never been greater, and when coupled with growing contractual complexities it is no wonder firms are investing to better manage Market Data Inventory and Contracts.

FISD will run a Masterclass on data inventory management and cataloguing systems. We’ll be explaining the what, why and how of these systems. This is intended as a generic primer on best practices and lessons learned for anyone seeking to implement such systems and/or to fine tune how they operate.

Space is strictly limited in this class – please contact reg@saquishpartners.com to secure your place.
